Congrats to Darrell Scott for winning the IMA for Best Country Album. I am proud to be involved as Bryan Cole’s manager, and we look forward to the upcoming promotions for Bryan’s nominated CD, Wide Open Road. Thanks!

Congratulations to J. Douglas Wright on being BLESSED with IMA Best SONG-Contemporary Christian ‘GLORIOUS SAVIOR’ ! ! God has a PLAN ! All the best wishes and prayers to a Ministry Under Way ! The Words and Music that has been whispered into your mind gets to bless us ALL now.

Well, the best man won for Alt. Country album of the year!! If you don’t have “Feed The Family” by Possessed By Paul James, you are missing out. Such a great thing that he won this award!! Proves that there are still folks out there that appreciate real music!!

Congratulations to Michael Stewart on this wonderful honor, Best R&B album. Of course, I knew he was a winner the first time I heard his work 2 years ago. I am sure this is just the start of an amazing career in the music industry.

It is very inspiring to see The Binary Marketing Show win an award for their album, Clues from the Past, proving that musicianship and originality are still in demand and recognized by the music industry. Congratulations to the band and to the IMA!!!

Gina Cimmelli & Gina’s Picture Show are a great band I have seen often. Singer/songwriter Gina and band members Jeni Magana, Mat Weber, Mat Coser & Stoddy Blackall put on a great show. They are playing Arlene’s Grocery, 95 Stanton St. NYC this month. If you are in the neighborhood come look them up Mondays @ 8PM. Gina’s song Don’t Be Mad is a favorite & you can listen to it on Berklee Podcasts with Adam Ollen too.
